Password managers are less secure than promised (ethz.ch)

  • Millions of people use password managers. They make accessing online services and bank accounts easy and simplify credit card payments.
  • Many providers promise absolute security – the data is said to be so encrypted that even the providers themselves cannot access it.
  • However, researchers from ETH Zurich have shown that it is possible for hackers to view and even change passwords.

Hmm, I don't think I've optimized it either to be fair. I wanted to use my phone as a 'bridge in between' but that means it uses battery since it 'checks' whats online.

In reality my phone is usually on demand and since I work from home, my work device is usually still turned on when I turn on my 'good computer' with fun projects.

One thing that I find useful is the backup / version control settings, I've set it up that there is a version control if it overwrites things so that when conflicts happen (eg a sync didn't happen and I changed both keepass databases) I can quickly 'merge' them or sync them up manually.

I've also heard that syncthing isn't available on android anymore but a fork (that is somewhat vetted, iirc) exist.

If you can run applications on your NAS & connect to it from anywhere, it could be used as a type of 'master' server that keeps everything in sync that is always online.

That is helpful, thank you! I will look into the master server option. I can spin up Docker containers on the NAS.
